Our Atlanta Falcons vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction
Despite losing in their Week 1 game, Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson was electric in the passing game. Robinson led the Falcons with 100 receiving yards on six receptions, averaging 16.7 yards per catch. This also included a 50-yard touchdown catch.
Minnesota was fairly decent against the pass in Week 1, allowing the Chicago Bears’ quarterback Caleb Williams to throw for 210 yards. The Vikings allowed a total of 23 yards to the Bears’ running backs; however, Robinson should have some success given how he performed in Week 1. Robinson is likely to be an integral part of the Atlanta offense, especially in the passing game; therefore, our Minnesota Vikings vs Atlanta Falcons prediction is: Bijan Robinson Over 12.5 Receiving Yards.Jackpot Pools
